Guardian MK14 and MK12 for Effective Mosquito Control

Initially, here's what I can tell you: Essentially, Guardian comes fully assembled and ready to use with just 3 main components, top, bottom and center post to unite, so it's very easy to set up and the propane tank (not included) attaches with ease. Once erected, turn on the gas at the propane tank valve, depress and hold the gas on valve then press the igniter and Guardian starts burning propane to attract mosquitoes to C02. Then, plug in Guardian to a 120 volt AC outlet, turn on the front toggle switch to activate the blue light, and thermal imaging attractants ; the intake fan is now on to draw flying insets into the capture net. Finally, hang the provided octenol strip at the front of Guardian using the included S-hook. The entire set-up took just a few minutes and was very straightforward.

I've had Guardian Mk-12 activated continuously for days now and it has been working flawlessly through, high winds, heavy rain, hot and cold temperatures. The rear wheels are useful when you want to move Guardian from place to place, just grasp the bottom front frame, hold the top steady tipping Guardian backward just a bit and pull forward (won't work in reverse)- that easy !

What to expect: Guardian MK-12 is intended to reduce the population of flying insects such as mosquitos and black flies and should be used early in the black fly and mosquito season. It is not intended for brief, periodic use such parties and barbecues. When used as directed the product will reduce the flying insect population as mentioned.

MK14, cordless, how so ? That's correct, no electrical or extension cords are required! Ingeniously, the unit is powered by a patented internal power generation mechanism that uses propane fuel to operate the fan and LEDs. Thus, MK14 eliminates a major hindrance for positioning because you are not restricted by the need for an external electric power source. At last, a cordless propane mosquito trap.

Product integrity: Koolatron / Lentek has true depth of competence and service. They research and back their products fully. Having sold multiple products from their line over the past 5 years only the best level of service has been provided.

How does it work?: Combines very effective blood seeking flying insect attractants: Foremost is production of CO2, moisture, heat,through slow burning of propane. Then, octenol vapor, shape, colour and thermal imaging to draw , capture and kill mosquitos and other fly insects within a 1 acre range. The octenol cartridge hangs on the side of Guardian's housing with supplied "S" hook. Another feature I truly like is the re-useable capture net, it's durable and intended to last for years. Fortunately, like other Guardian components should it ever become damaged a replacement is available from the manufacturer conveniently located in Canada or the USA.
